The M&S bestselling light-up candles are back for Christmas - but you’ll have to act fast as they're expected to sell out
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
M&S’s sell-out light-up scented Candles are back in stock for Christmas 2024 - but you’ll have to act fast if you want to get your hands on one.
The Marks and Spencer light-up candle range is available to buy both in-store and online, it’s safe to say that these scents stole the show last year. The brand sold 110,000 units of the Townhouse Christmas candle - that’s one per minute during its peak sale period and enough candles to scale The Shard 40 times, according to M&S.
This year it’s expected to be no different.
The Townhouse Christmas has already gone out of stock once after being launched in September, but it's finally back although we can't guarantee how long stocks will last. If the Townhouse isn't for you, or you're not quick enough to nab it, there's plenty of other options in the light-up scented candle range to bring your Christmas ideas to life this festive season.
But what makes them so special?
M&S light up candle range
What sets M&S light-up candles apart from the other best Christmas candles is the sheer beauty of their packaging. It feels like your own miniature winter wonderland! For just £10, too, it’s an affordable way to add a bit of sparkle to your home in the run up to December.
Mandarin, cinnamon and clove bring you right into a charming town centre at the heart of the festive season.
The decorative glass jar of the Townhouse Christmas Candle features a gorgeous snowy skylines which light up when lit, d epicting a Christmas tree, families ice-skating and snow falling.
